Shelley McLendon and Michael Fetters
Prop Mastery and Aces Wrangling by Marshall Bradley and Rob Campbell
The Aces are the tallest sketch comedy troupe in America. This is where you’ve seen Michael and Shelley together: The Chicago Sketch Comedy Festival, The Portland Mercury’s Undisputable Geniuses of Comedy Show, The Portland Sketch Comedy Festival, The Lost Boys- Live!, Road House: The Play!, sketch comedy troupe SWEAT, and in a little short film called TIME BIKE.
You’ve seen MICHAEL in GRIMM, PORTLANDIA, the film WILD, the music vid for CAKE’s MOUSTACHE MAN, THE AUTEUR, and Pioneer Middle School’s adaptation of ARSENIC and OLD LACE. He’s good. REAL good:
“… Michael Fetters (is) a master of impish expressiveness.” (The Oregonian)
You’ve seen SHELLEY running The Siren Theater, in sketch troupes The Sisters of Mercy and Lone Wolves, in She's Like The Wind, Road House: The Play!, The Lost Boys- Live!, A Nightmare on Elm Street The Play, on Celebrity Family Feud, and on an early episode of PORTLANDIA. People seem to like her:
“She has a Jennifer Saunders-like mutability, serving up knowing performances…” (Chicago Tribune)
